According to the oddsmakers, Anthony Smith has a monumental task in front of him at UFC 235 when he challenges Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title. Just how monumental? Smith is as big as a 7-to-1 underdog, although most current betting lines list him at around +550. Jones as the favorite is even bigger coming in at -900 at most places. Whatever the specific number is, you get the point: Nobody’s giving Smith much of a chance to beat Jones on Saturday night in Las Vegas. But that’s why they fight the fights! We’ve seen some major upsets in MMA history, even not so long ago when Rose Namajunas finished Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 217.
